“…God images and their relationship to coping and meaning making . Some of the complex concerns of older adults are poor health, feelings of isolation, loss of social relationships, and end‐of‐life issues, which entail a spiritual component (Snodgrass, ). Counselors can help older adult clients understand these symbolic relationships by incorporating God into a discussion of these concerns.…”

This study aimed to understand the influences that contributed to the formation of God images of 8 older vowed religious men in the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) throughout their life courses and the effect of those influences. The study used Rizzuto's (1979) object relations theory, interpretive phenomenological analysis, and a semistructured interview format. Participants reported evolving God images, modifications of God images, or completely changed God images, thus evidencing continued spiritual growth through their life spans. Counselors can use influences on God images when working with such populations. These influences can be in the form of persons, books, scripture, or any other object representations specific to the client.

“…An increasing number of persons identified themselves not as religious in a traditional sense, but rather as spiritual in their orientation to life (McFadden, ). Furthermore, previous literature has highlighted the holistic nature of older individuals' spirituality (Snodgrass, ) and the development and fulfillment when the life cycle is nearly complete (Tornstam, ).…”

This study intended to analyze the indicators of adjustment to aging (AtA) and to investigate the latent constructs that can work as major determinants in spirituality for a cross-national older community-dwelling population. Questionnaires were completed to assess the participants' background information. Interviews were performed, addressing one core area: indicators of AtA. Complete data were available for 154 older adults from two nationalities (German and Portuguese), aged between 75 and 103 years (M = 86.6; SD = 6.98). The data were subjected to content analysis. Representations of the associations and latent constructs were analyzed using a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). The most prevalent response of the interviewed participants for indicators of AtA was spirituality (43.2%). Spiritual activities was the most reported response regarding spirituality (20.0%). A significant moderate association was found between spiritual activities and nationality (V = .365; p < .001). Spirituality for older adults was explained by a three-dimensional overall model: spiritual and existential meaning, limit-related awareness and community embeddedness. The findings presented in this paper emphasized the need to explore the potential of spirituality for AtA and the need for improving the spiritual dimension of health care for the older cross-national population.

“…The research again showed older women were more inclined to spiritualities and less likely to consult a curandero. The positive influence of spirituality on ageing, women's wellbeing, mental health and cognitive functions (Sullivan, 1998;Vahia et al, 2010) affirm spiritual strategies in those disciplines that are able to address spiritual needs therapeutically (Snodgrass, 2009), and imply a need to respect beliefs for the wellbeing of patients generally.…”

A decade ago, to encourage students to look beyond biomedical cause and effect, a model was developed to teach health sociology to paramedics in Australian universities (Kitto, 2004). It was an extension of Mills' (2000) classical concept of the sociological imagination, which demonstrates how personal problems are often an extension of public issues (Reeves, 2011). For example, students can be taught to imagine how the global financial crisis affects breakfast tables in Brixton, Belfast and Salonika through subtle financial stress, job uncertainty and unemployment. Anxiety and income directly impact health and access to services. Teaching paramedic students to think deeply about the social determinants
